“Super-duper expensive!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 April 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed here in transit - this place is crazy-expensive (the most expensive non-safari hotel in South Africa?). Nevertheless, you are paying for the easy glide from the terminal to the hotel, and for the pleasure of not messing about with shuttles or taxis. The hotel is fine, as you would expect an Inter-Con to be. More

“Best rest after a long flight”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 April 2012

My partner wished to stay more than one night after sleeping in the extremely comfortable beds. The curtains blacked out all night and there was no noise from the airport ensuring a good night's rest. Breakfast in the morning was excellent - wonderful fruit, oatmeal, and if you wanted warm food, you could order for extra, but frankly with the... More

Dear Don A, Thank you for taking the time to post your feedback on Trip Advisor regarding our hotel. We do appreciate it. Yes, are rooms are designed in such a way, that although we are only 68 meters from the arrivals hall - you can't hear a single plane landing or anything else for that matter. This ensures a... More

“My guilty pleasure”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 April 2012

Find it hard to dissuade myself from booking a night at the IC Oliver Tambo on my many recent transits through South Africa recently. The rooms are remarkably comfortable, amenities are terrific; I love the Nespresso coffee machine next to the desk and the roast chicken, chutney and mayo sandwiches are to die for. The staff are always very pleasant... More

“Very handy for the airport”

I've stayed here on a couple of different occasions for work. The staff are very pleasant, the rooms are very comfortable, breakfast is excellent, restaurant food also very good and all that 30 seconds from the airport terminal. The only slight negative was a flaky wifi. More

“Expected better!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 April 2012

We ended up staying here for 24 hours on a layover, and I must say I was disappointed. Check-in was fairly smooth, but for such a prestigious hotel, they were very unaccomodating. They do not cater for families with children period. We requested a room with an extra bed for our 9 year old daughter, and they told us they... More
